A Lucid Dream and
Fantasies
Very simply put, a dream in which you are conscious that you are dreaming
is known as a Lucid Dream. The expression 'lucid' in this context means
aware or conscious. But the extent of your 'lucidity' can vary according
to how ‘stable’ the dream experience itself is, how much you manage to
remember about the dream when you wake up, and also how much influence you
have in taking control of the dream itself.
Having control over the dream is the most important part of a Lucid Dream.
It's an amazing thing to be in a dream yet to know that it is in fact a
dream. You are in the driver's seat of your dream and you can experience
anything you have ever wanted to.
Just think about this for a moment. A Lucid Dream is like reality in every
aspect; you can se, feel and use all of your senses, but with the
knowledge that you are perfectly safe and can do literally anything you
want. A Lucid Dream is a virtual reality experience far beyond the
capabilities of any computer technologies to produce.
A Lucid Dreaming is an incredible skill that more and more people are
mastering. Having a Lucid Dream is something almost everyone experiences
very occasionally, but just imagine how exhilarating it would be if you
could have a Lucid Dream whenever you want to!
A Lucid Dream gives you the opportunity to have any experience that you
can think of. You can meet anyone you ever wanted to, visit other planets,
have unbridled erotic experiences, speak with the loved ones you have
lost; anything you can imagine can happen.
It can be fairly complicated to achieve A Lucid Dream on a regular basis.
Up until recently many people spent months in training and using special
self-conditioning procedures before even experiencing A Lucid Dream. Even
then, most people never even succeed once, let alone on a regular basis.
So are there any simple ways of experiencing A Lucid Dream?
Many people feel that particular foods can encourage or induce a Lucid
Dream. You should try these immediately before going to sleep. Orange
Juice, Milk and Cheese and also Mustard have been reported as being good
things to consume for the best results.
Others will tell you to try pickles, ice cream, fish and popcorn. While
they swear by the ability of these foods to produce the right conditions
for A Lucid Dream to occur, these foods also have a high salt and fat
content, as well as fatty acids; making them not so likely to produce
restful sleep.
Can Technology Assist You?
Your chances to experience A Lucid Dream session improves with the new
advancing technology. There are now devices on the market that alerts you
that you are dreaming and which can induce A Lucid Dream Session. These
are quite innovative in that they are simply masks which monitor your
eyes. When they detect REM or Rapid Eye Movement, which is an indicator of
dreaming, a red diode blinks into your eyes. This beam is registered in
your brain and serves as a reminder that you are in fact dreaming and that
you are still in control. It is then that you can take control of the
dream.
Another of the new developments is an audio technology known as binaural
beats. Different frequencies are played in each ear of the listener; this
has been found to be helpful in achieving A Lucid Dream.
Binaural frequencies help to synchronize the hemispheres of the brain and
make your brain more likely to reach REM sleep, which is needed in order
for A Lucid Dream to happen.
If you would really love to experience A Lucid Dream then this is for you.
This is definitely one of the easiest methods and devices that assist in
achieving a A Lucid Dream.
Power Tools For A Lucid
Dream.
A Lucid Dream or Conscious Dreaming is the art of being aware that one is
actually dreaming. In simple words, while in dream, you are aware that all
the events are not happening in fact, or 'It’s Just A Dream!' kind of
situation. There is certain amount of control you can exercise with A
Lucid Dream, which is not the case in normal dreams.
Being able to control the course of your dreams is nothing less than a
life-changing, liberating experience. All things that you felt could hold
you back in life just melt away and you are in control of every situation.
Is A Lucid Dream as straightforward as all that? Is A Lucid Dream
something which can be experienced by anyone?
As it happens, A Lucid Dream is not all that difficult. If you really want
to use this technique to tap into the power of your mind, you can do so.
There are proven ways to get you to your goal.
You need to know what you hope to achieve through A Lucid Dream. Are you
after something specific which can help you with other areas of your life,
or do you just want to turn your dreams into a playpen of the imagination?
Whatever your reason for wanting to learn A Lucid Dream, know your goal
and be determined to reach it.
Once you understand your reason you will begin the learning process of how
to lucid dream. You will need to learn Dream Recall. This is the ability
to recall a dream from the previous night. You will not be able to lucid
dream until you can recall a dream.
The process is slow, but it can be achieved by maintaining a Dream Recall
Register in which you enter as many details as you can remember about your
dreams daily. Slowly but surely, you’ll realize that you can remember even
the most vivid details of your dreams. Periodic reality checks during the
course of dreaming will train your mind to be aware in dreams.
The time required for preparing the subconscious mind to experience A
Lucid Dream can be reduced greatly with hypnosis for some individuals.
Generally one or two hypnosis sessions allows you to continually recall
all your dreams. Your mind is conditioned for A Lucid Dream once this
happens.
You will find at first that you sometimes will awake suddenly during lucid
dreams. This is normal. Just recall the events of your dream as you try to
fall back asleep and attempt to reenter the dream, steering in the
direction that you want it go.
You can also induce A Lucid Dream by going back to sleep just a couple of
hours after you get up in the morning. This type of dreaming can cause you
to wonder if you were really dreaming or if you have somehow manifested
your thought-forms into reality. Dreaming at this time is the closest you
can get to A Lucid Dream.
You may realize now that it’s extremely helpful to keep track of your
sleeping patterns so you may find the best times to have a lucid dream.
A Lucid Dream can actually help you fight sleeping disorders, like
insomnia. Whenever you are struggling to sleep at the normal sleeping
hours, you just need to tell your mind that sleeping equals A Lucid Dream,
and your mind will take care of all the thoughts that are preventing you
from falling asleep.
In the past it was it took quite a while to learn how to have a lucid
dream, however with the dawning of new sound technologies it is now much
easier than ever before for anyone to enjoy the experience of A Lucid Dream.
Listening to binaural audios is one of the most reliable and fastest ways
to have a lucid dream for many individuals.
Binaural beats audio is the playing of frequencies which are slightly
different from each other, one in each ear. This causes a feeling of deep
relaxation and brings brain waves into the proper state for A Lucid Dream.
Before binaural audio technology, meditation was the method of choice for
those wanting to learn how to have A Lucid Dream, and this was a process
which could sometimes take years to master. Many simply gave up, not
having the determination to pursue the practice.
Binaural sound waves, especially in tandem with hypnosis can prepare your
mind and allow you to begin A Lucid Dream very quickly, sometimes even on
the first try!
